Add support for SSL connections to OVN northbound and/or
southbound databases.

To improve security, the NB and SB ovsdb daemons no longer
have open ptcp connections by default.  This is a change in
behavior from previous versions, users wishing to use TCP
connections to the NB/SB daemons can either request that
a passive TCP connection be used via ovn-ctl command-line
options (e.g. via OVN_CTL_OPTS/OVN_NORTHD_OPTS in startup
scripts):

    --db-sb-create-insecure-remote=yes
    --db-nb-create-insecure-remote=yes

Or configure a connection after the NB/SB daemons have been
started, e.g.:

    ovn-sbctl set-connection ptcp:6642
    ovn-nbctl set-connection ptcp:6641

Users desiring SSL database connections will need to generate certificates
and private key as described in INSTALL.SSL.rst and perform the following
one-time configuration steps:

   ovn-sbctl set-ssl <private-key> <certificate> <ca-cert>
   ovn-sbctl set-connection pssl:6642
   ovn-nbctl set-ssl <private-key> <certificate> <ca-cert>
   ovn-nbctl set-connection pssl:6641

On the ovn-controller and ovn-controller-vtep side, SSL configuration
must be provided on the command-line when the daemons are started, this
should be provided via the following command-line options (e.g. via
OVN_CTL_OPTS/OVN_CONTROLLER_OPTS in startup scripts):

   --ovn-controller-ssl-key=<private-key>
   --ovn-controller-ssl-cert=<certificate>
   --ovn-controller-ssl-ca-cert=<ca-cert>

The SB database connection should also be configured to use SSL, e.g.:

    ovs-vsctl set Open_vSwitch . \
              external-ids:ovn-remote=ssl:w.x.y.z:6642

v6: - Corrected typo (DB_NB_CREATE_INSECURE_REMOTE vs
      DB_SB_CREATE_INSECURE_REMOTE).

v5: - Corrected "==" between option and value for command-line options
      in the ovn-ctl man page, a single "=" should have been used. Fixed
      new instances as well as pre-existing instances.

v4: - reverted to v1 scheme for creating default (insecure), dropping
      feedback from Russell at http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/701571/.
    - changed --db-?b-create-remote to --db-?b-create-insecure-remote

v3: - rebased
    - s/db-sb-default-remote/db-sb-create-remote/ in man page
    - s/db-nb-default-remote/db-nb-create-remote/ in man page

v2: - Changed DB_NB_DEFAULT_REMOTE to DB_NB_CREATE_REMOTE.
    - Changed DB_SB_DEFAULT_REMOTE to DB_SB_CREATE_REMOTE.
    - Create default remote configuration in db instead of
      via command-line options.

Put the certificate file path in ovsdb is better?  Similar to ovn-remove 
in Open_vSwitch table.

Hi Guoshuai,

Currently the only way to specify SSL certificate/key configuration to
ovn-controller is via command-line options, as was used in this patch.

Enabling ovn-controller to use SSL configuration stored in the  Open_vSwitch
SSL table does make sense to me, especially since this is the db where
we configure ovn-remote.

Some questions I have (perhaps others will weigh in):

 (1) Should we support both methods (command line and db) for providing SSL
     configuration to ovn-controller, or only one?
 (2) If we do want both, would it be acceptable to enable db configuration
     in a follow-on patch?

Thanks,

   Lance

Yes, you are right.
I think support both methods are better,
today we first support the command line, and then support the database.
I also hope this patch can be applied quickly.


Thanks
